With the new year upon us, it’s time again to recognize our fellow Ratebeerians for their contributions over the past year. Nominations will be open between 4 Jan and 11 Jan; voting will take place between 12 Jan and 19 Jan. Rules will be made-up on the fly, and supervision of the process will be done by a crack team of borderline alcoholics.

I copied/pasted from last years thread, and might have screwed up dates. Long story short: All ratings/posts/new members/whatever need to be from 2015.

Another rule - Past winners of the Walt Powell Lifetime Achievement Award are already in the official JoeT sanctioned RateBeer Hall of Fame, and are ineligible from re-winning. All the other categories can have repeat winners.
